Pirastro Eudoxa Cello D String — Velvet Midrange with Nuanced Projection (Medium)

The Pirastro Eudoxa D string is the colorist of your set—bridging the A’s lyricism with the lower strings’ resonance. Its gut core and aluminum winding deliver a velvety, rounded midrange that sits beautifully in the ensemble and steps forward with refined projection when you need to sing out.

Detailed Characteristics
You’ll hear a warm, mellow tone filled with complex overtones and a slightly darker hue than many modern synthetics. The D shapes phrases gracefully, supporting legato lines with natural sustain while remaining articulate in spiccato and sautillé. It’s an exceptional choice if you want a D that blends rather than bites.

Playability & Feel
Left-hand feel is soft and pliant, reducing fatigue in long rehearsals and sessions. The bow response is quick and cooperative, speaking clearly at lighter pressures and rewarding nuanced contact-point changes. Once settled, the D offers tuning stability and dependable pitch even in extended passages.
